A couple wins from the Giants only moves the needle one game. A sweep would be 3.

 

Obviously, but it's hard to assume any team is going to sweep another team at any time--especially on the road. That would be a pretty awesome though.

 

I just hope Giolito pitches well, and then the bullpen gives it up. After that, the rest of the weekend is gravy.

Anyone paying attention to the home/road schedules? It seems to have gone unnoticed but the Sox odds have quietly improved by that alone recently.

 

For quite a while, the Sox had played far more games on the road than at home, especially compared to the Phillies and Giants. However, in the last couple of weeks or so, that has flipped and the Sox have now have played three more at home. Check out the total games home vs away so far:

 

CHW 71H, 68R

PHI 65H, 75R

SF 70H, 72R

 

It isn't insignificant that now the Sox must play more games on the road than the others, especially Philadelphia, who will be getting ten more home games than road games down the stretch.

I think tonight's game is the Sox best chance for a win and I'm not all that confident in this offense against Moore. Despite shark bait pitching Saturday, he's still opposed by James f***ing Shields, ugh. Sunday is Bumgarner, LMAO. Definitely potential or a sweep if the Sox don't put up some offense this weekend.
